Untitled (8 - 3 - D - 19) 1985

Yves Gaucher's "Untitled (8 - 3 - D - 19)" from 1985 is a minimalist drawing of two parallel, diagonal bands of graphite, the one on the left is darker than the one on the right, against a white background. The artist uses the density of the pencil marks to create subtle shifts in value across the surface of the drawing. Gaucher, known for his geometric abstractions, often played with the repetition and arrangement of lines to create his signature style, which was influenced by Abstract Expressionism. This drawing is a captivating exploration of form and space, evoking a sense of simplicity and quiet contemplation.
